How this list is made
A launch goes in when the company's own release notes, blog or help pages confirm it. The date is the day it was announced. Plans and countries are copied from the same page, and left out when the page doesn't say. Features only for developers or for company admins are left out, unless they change what you can do in the app.
For the bigger launches there's a how-to: Claude Duet, ChatGPT dots, locked chats and Meta Muse connectors.
I keep lists like this one in Pinto Notes, a notes app for the Mac that ChatGPT and Claude can read and add to.
Questions
Why don't I have a new ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini feature yet?
Most launches roll out over days or weeks, so the date here is the day the company announced it, not the day every account gets it. Check the Who gets it line too: many features start with one plan, one country or adults only, and the official page linked in each row says when more people get it.
How often is this list updated?
When something ships. New launches go in the same day or the day after, once the company's own page confirms the date and who gets it.
